I don't think it's that simple. We should be able to do EDID read on one
of the states, perhaps second or third. For that we need parts of the
HDMI IP to be enabled.

Also, the third state should be something where the IP is fully
functional. For DSI this would mean that you can communicate over DSI
bus etc. So I guess EDID read should be possible at this level.

Disabling HDMI is easy, it's already done by the disable call. And the
same for the video enabled mode. The middle ones are the ones that need
implementation.

And for HDMI, there's currently no way to enable it partially. This is
what I tried with my quick hack, but I couldn't figure out what parts
need to be enabled (but I didn't spend much time on it).

This is something that should be implemented for all outputs, obviously,
but we could approach it bit by bit. For example, implement it first for
HDMI, and all other outputs just consider anything else than "disabled"
as full enable.
